I've decided to stop being a consumer and start being a producer, flipping the switch to become a money-making machine instead of constantly buying things I don't need. This mindset shift has transformed my relationship with money, helping me prioritize experiences over stuff and break free from the endless cycle of consumption.
• Questioning how many shirts, jeans, or other items one person actually needs
• Stopping the replacement of things that are still perfectly functional
• Distinguishing between being a saver (who does nothing with money) and a producer (who generates money for meaningful use)
• Breaking the habit of buying things like it's an addiction
• Conducting a personal audit of spending habits to identify unnecessary purchases
• Choosing experiences like travel over accumulating more possessions
• Recognizing that many people own luxury items worth more than they have in their bank accountsMerchandise Line: / Comedy:

I explore the connection between faith and creativity, sharing my belief that unexpected inspiration comes directly from God. My personal experiences as a comedian have shown me that our greatest creative breakthroughs often arrive when we stop forcing ideas and remain open to divine guidance.
• When good ideas appear unexpectedly, I believe they come from God
• Using your gift brings you spiritually closer to its source
• Working on a God-given talent is a way of honoring and celebrating Him
• Inspiration often arrives when we loosen our grip and stop forcing ideas
• The courage to share your gifts with others is a compliment to their source
• Creative breakthroughs feel different from logical, step-by-step progression
• Recently experienced a major breakthrough after 2.5 weeks of writer's blockMerchandise Line: / Comedy:

The psychology behind why we value certain things more than others often defies conventional wisdom. Through a fascinating personal experiment, I discovered how raising the price of a TV I was selling dramatically increased buyer interest overnight. After listing a nearly-new television at $400—less than half its sale price—I received zero inquiries for days. On a whim, I increased the price, and suddenly received twelve offers. This counterintuitive result perfectly illustrates how humans equate higher prices with higher value, even when we intellectually know an item's actual worth.
This principle extends far beyond consumer transactions. As the saying goes, "everything in life is sales." Whether you're trying to impress someone romantically, convince colleagues in a business meeting, or promote your ideas, you're essentially selling something—your personality, your perspective, your expertise. The mindset we adopt in these situations dramatically affects our success rate. When we frame our goal as "selling" rather than merely "convincing," we naturally become more passionate, charismatic, and determined.
Language powerfully shapes our thoughts and actions. The words we choose create different psychological frameworks that manifest in our behavior and outcomes. Like wrestlers who approach matches as "fights" to boost their aggression and performance, the terminology we use can transform our effectiveness in any situation. This phenomenon explains why things that appear exclusive or difficult to obtain become instantly more desirable. Our minds interpret higher prices or greater barriers as indicators of superior value—which explains why raising prices can sometimes attract more buyers than lowering them. Have you noticed this pattern in your own experiences? I'd love to hear how price psychology has affected your decisions or business strategies!Merchandise Line: / Comedy:

Have you ever experienced that magical moment when time seems to stop because you're completely immersed in something you love? That's exactly what I explore in this deeply personal reflection on passion.
There's something transcendent about loving not just the results, but the entire process of an activity. For me, it happens when I'm writing comedy late at night—from the initial spark of an idea to perfecting the delivery and timing, right through to that perfect moment when the audience erupts in laughter. It's one of the greatest feelings in the universe.
But what makes this exploration particularly interesting is the concept of "jumping railroad tracks" between different passions. When I rotate from comedy to martial arts like jiu-jitsu and judo, something fascinating happens. The physical demands of mastering an Uchimata throw or perfecting a takedown technique give my creative mind space to breathe while still engaging deeply with something meaningful. This mental toggle allows ideas to marinate subconsciously while I'm focused elsewhere—creating a powerful synergy between seemingly unrelated pursuits.
Whether it's the rush of landing a joke perfectly or the satisfaction of executing a martial arts technique that just clicked, these moments reveal what true passion feels like. It's comparable to how a bird might feel in flight or a dedicated runner lacing up their shoes—there's something almost spiritual in it. By documenting these reflections, I'm creating stronger mental imprints that will guide future creative pursuits while hopefully inspiring you to identify and pursue your own passions. What railroad tracks do you jump between? Whatever brings that feeling of complete immersion, get after it—it's one of life's greatest gifts.Merchandise Line: / Comedy:

The journey to a purple belt in jiu-jitsu represents far more than just time on the mats—it's about dedication, passion, and finding your path across different training environments. After starting at Travis's in Fort Worth, then training at Marcelo Garcia's, and finally finding my home at Team Silverback, I've reached this significant milestone that sits at the halfway point between white belt beginnings and black belt mastery.
My martial arts journey has become deeply intertwined with my identity as both a comedian and a veteran. The warrior spirit that drives me to master jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and judo techniques complements rather than competes with my comedy career. When you're trying to prevent someone from choking you or throwing you to the ground, your mind can't wander to joke structures or punchlines—you're fully present in the moment. This mental break actually strengthens my comedy by allowing my subconscious to work while my conscious mind focuses elsewhere.
There's profound wisdom in balancing passionate pursuits. Moving between creative endeavors and physical challenges creates a therapeutic rhythm that enhances mental health. Just as weightlifting forces you to focus on not dropping a heavy barbell, martial arts demands complete awareness—except the "weight" is actively trying to submit you! This requirement for total presence functions as a form of moving meditation, temporarily freeing you from the thought patterns that might otherwise dominate your mind. Whether you're a comedian, veteran, or someone seeking balance, finding complementary passions might be the key to thriving in both. Want to discover what martial arts or finding your own balanced passions could do for you? Follow along as I continue sharing insights from both the comedy stage and the training mats.Merchandise Line: / Comedy:

Ever wonder what really separates those who achieve their dreams from those who don't? It's not what most people think. The secret lies in creating your own path rather than following the well-worn trails of others.
That guilty conscience pushing you to wake up at 4 AM might just be your greatest asset. While others sleep, those extra hours become a powerful advantage in the race toward your goals. This isn't about unhealthy hustle culture—it's about recognizing that true achievement often requires breaking away from conventional patterns that keep most people stuck in mediocrity.
Fascinating psychological studies reveal how humans instinctively follow the crowd—joining longer checkout lines despite empty registers being available, standing up in rooms simply because everyone else stands. But this follow-the-leader mentality rarely leads to extraordinary success. The most successful people don't just work harder; they work differently, finding unconventional routes that others miss.
Think of it like guerrilla warfare. When you don't have the same resources as established players, you must leverage your unique advantages. Maybe you're smaller and more mobile, able to pivot quickly where larger competitors cannot. Perhaps your strength lies in creative thinking that generates solutions others can't see. Whatever your edge, the key is identifying it and deploying it strategically.
Ready to stop following and start creating your own path to success? The journey begins with recognizing that your unique approach isn't just an option—it's your greatest competitive advantage. Listen now and discover how to harness your unorthodox thinking to achieve what others can only dream about.Merchandise Line: / Comedy:
